I mean, grown men don't discuss their one-night stands with 14-year-olds. Teachers don't harass you for money. On top of that, the actors were pretty bad. the mother's accent wavered and the cinematography was okay.

Don't watch this. Save yourself.

An incredible piece of cinematography. I didn't know anything about this movie and just started watching it in IFC one day. Very powerful and poignant.

"I didn't really know who Frank Whaley was till I saw this and Swiming With Sharks. Honestly I didn't really know that most of what happened in the movie actually happened to Whaley in real life. A dark and powerful character driven study"

Like it reovles around him and his abusive family, and father, a brother who baerly speakes to him and a mother who's fear of his father drives her down. This kid is like litterally on his own and has to fend for himself. John leguizamo is in this flick, val kilmer all the actors in this movie give a mean perforamance. Not many ppls no about this flick and they need to get on it

Very good movie that is all about the characters. Val Kilmer stands out as a drunk and abusive father.

it's fucking amazing, Val Kilmer plays a great shitty abusive father. The things this kid has to go through and the changes he goes through make this a fucking amazing movie.
